You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.
so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.
Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z
Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z
Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z
Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z
Now you have -18= 1z
Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.
So your final answer will be -18=z




Divide both sides by -2. We know that since 2 is negative, it'll be < (less than) 0. So, the direction of inequality will change.

Divide 26 by -2..we'll get the answer as -13.

Now, subtract 3 from both the sides.

Subtracting -13 by 3..we'll get the answer as -16.

Divide both sides by 2. We know that since 2 is positive, the direction of inequality will remain the same.

Divide -16 by 2..we'll get the answer as -8.

Answer:
We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:
1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20
2 1/2x = 20
x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
